I’m officially a Tainaka Sachi Fanboy. From now onwards(actually way back), whenever she does release a new single/album, I will buy it! Anyhow, for those of you who didn’t know, Mariage -tribute to Fate- contains all the Fate/stay night song(Game Only) remixes done by Tainaka Sachi. As for Voice ～辿りつく場所～, it’s the theme song for the UBW movie.

Back to the review, I shall start with Mariage -tribute to Fate-.

Track 1: disillusion [Fate/stay night GAME OP]
Nothing much said as it’s the same song as the Fate/stay night Anime OP, it sounds so much better than the Original Game OP.

Track 2: Days [Fate/stay night GAME ED]
This track sounds kinda a little too “Hatsune Miku” to me(kinda like machine) but Tainaka Sachi does pronounce the Engrish better than the Original Artist.

Track 3: Memory [Saber’s Image Song]
This song is pretty well executed by her, makes you think that she’s the Original Artist for it. She made the song kind of bittersweet.

Track 4: Over The Mountain [Rin’s Image Song]
For this, I prefer the Original. Tainaka Sachi kinda made this a little too upbeat, not a bad thing but feels weird to me.

Track 5: 桜咲いて(Sakura Saite) [Sakura’s Image Song]
This track sounds pretty smoothing, although it keeps reminding of the Good END of Heaven’s Feel, where Sakura waits and waits… *sobs

Track 6: hollow [Fate／hollow ataraxia OP]
The Original sounds better, Tainaka Sachi make the tempo too slow for my taste, especially the chorus part.

Track 7: 僕たちの未来 (Bokutachi no Mirai) [Fate/hollow ataraxia ED]
And again, she made the tempo too slow…

Track 8: 黄金の輝き (Ougon no Kagayaki) [Fate/stay night Realta Nua OP]
This song is supposed to be like きらめく涙は星に (Kirameku Namida wa Hoshi ni), I wonder why she chose to sing it slow again…

Track 9: Link [Fate/stay night Realta Nua ED]
This track is pretty upbeat, very refreshing after all the slow tempo songs.

Track 10: Alive [???]
It’s a song which makes you moeru? That’s the feeling I get.

Now for Voice ～辿りつく場所～,

Track 1: Voice ～辿りつく場所～ (Tadoritsuku Basho)
A very nice smoothing song. You should see the MV

Track 2: 素直になって (Sunao ni Natte)
A very upbeat song which makes you energized, good to hear it during boring mornings.

This is my first at writing a music review, so if anyone has any critics, feel free to comment. Before I go off, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
